The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits - Chapter 170
[Chapter 168]
Under the candlelight, the shadows of the two gradually overlapped.
I don’t know when, Shen Yu changed positions, and the folds on the table were swept away by the sleeves. At this moment, no one cared.
Shen Yu sat in Shang Junlin’s arms and raised his head slightly.
The fair and slender fingers were placed on the black clothes, clenching as the man moved.
Like lotus leaves in the wind and rain, undulating and swaying.
The night is getting deeper and deeper.
The court’s wanted order was issued to various places, and Hanzhou also got the news.
In order to avoid being discovered, King Yue and his party stayed in Zhuangzi all the time. They got the news, which was brought by the head of the Cheng family.
“The court has issued a wanted order, and Da Huan is afraid that there is nowhere to be safe. Can he go back to the fief of His Highness?” The calm appearance of the Cheng family’s patriarch was full of anxiety.
He knew that King Yue had escaped from prison, and he knew that such a day would come sooner or later, but he didn’t expect it to be so soon. Although the Cheng family had no choice now, there was a traitor in the eyes of outsiders, the head of the Cheng family. I can’t get past that for a while.
“There are soldiers raised by this king over the fief. This king has already passed the news and asked them to come and join us. The fief cannot go back for the time being. Since the emperor ordered the charge of treason to be placed on this king, it is impossible for this to happen after this. Let this king go back to the fief.”
King Yue is really in a dilemma now, most of his power is in the fief, and now there is no one available around him, the crime of treason has been convicted, and he can’t go back to the imperial city. However, there is a dead end.
Since Shang Junlin is unkind, don’t blame him for being unjust!
The hat of treason fell on his head, what if he took the charge?
It’s all Shang Junlin forcing him, isn’t it?
He just wanted to protect himself!
“How many people do you have here?” King Yue turned to ask the middle-aged man standing beside him without saying a word.
“What does Your Highness want to do?” A light flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
“Isn’t what this king wants to do, what you have always hoped this king to do? Why does Mr. Tan have to pretend?” King Yue said angrily.
“It’s naturally the best for His Highness to figure it out on his own. The forces behind me and I will serve His Highness.” Mr. Tan smiled and stroked his beard.
“My Cheng family is also willing to serve His Highness!” The Cheng family master followed to express his loyalty.
Now that they decided to start a rebellion, the King of Yue acted quickly. The Cheng family is now very powerful in Hanzhou, and many officials in Hanzhou are inextricably linked with them. They suddenly attacked and controlled most of the forces in Hanzhou. .
The officials sent by the imperial court were locked up by them, and the King of Yue and his party officially settled in the official residence, using Hanzhou as a stronghold.
The person who received them in Hanzhou entered Hanzhou after receiving the news. This is a team of thousands. The highest general of the Hanzhou garrison is the son-in-law of the Cheng family. He has always been the leader of the Cheng family. Inverted.
Those who oppose it will be beheaded in public, and no one will dare to take risks under the bloody means.
Hanzhou has completely changed.
The King of Yue sent a letter to his own people. These people were arranged by him in his early years, and not all of them were on the fief. After getting the news, they secretly came to Hanzhou.
Mr. Tan’s people also entered Hanzhou one after another. In a blink of an eye, Hanzhou gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
This winter is not destined to be peaceful.
The news from Hanzhou to the capital was blocked, and Shang Junlin got the news through Yinlongwei.
“Shang Junyue turned back.” Shang Junlin folded his fingers, and the note fell into pieces.
“What?” Shen Yu stood up in surprise, “King Yue directly rebelled?”
After the surprise, Shen Yu didn’t think it was very strange, King Yue always had rebellion, but now he just implemented the plan in his heart.
“After they arrived in Hanzhou, they learned of the court’s wanted order for them, colluded with the Shangcheng family, and directly controlled Hanzhou. The whereabouts of the officials sent by the court were unknown, and Yinlongwei was half damaged before sending the news.” Shang Jun Rin’s voice was cold.
“How is the situation in Hanzhou now?” Shen Yu frowned worriedly.
“The garrison of Hanzhou has turned against each other, and with the troops who don’t know where they came from, there are now 80,000 troops in Hanzhou. Yinlongwei said that there are still a steady stream of troops entering Hanzhou.”
King Yue beat them for a time difference .
, If there is no news from Yinlongwei desperately, they will know it later.
Shang Junlin immediately called the ministers to discuss.
In the imperial study, when they heard the news from Hanzhou, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, but no one thought that the King of Yue really had the courage to rebel.
“Where did the King of Yue come from so many people?” A minister looked puzzled.
The vassal king has the right to raise soldiers, but the scale is very small. With the rank of the king of Yue, he can raise up to 2,000 private soldiers, but the current situation is that the opponent has no less than 80,000 soldiers, and it is constantly increasing.
Where did these soldiers come from?
Many ministers have such doubts in their hearts.
“Since he has long been unwilling to serve as a minister, it is not surprising that he supports private soldiers. What we need to solve now is how to deal with the King of Yue.” The prime minister said aloud and brought the topic back.
“The prime minister is right. The King of Yue is now guilty of the crime, but now the Subei side is still fighting with the Beimo people. Who should be sent to quell the rebellion?”
Because of the disaster of the previous emperor, Da Huan can now use too few generals. Too few, you can’t let the emperor go on a personal expedition, right?
After all, it’s not that serious.
“There is a choice in my mind regarding the suppression of the rebellion. In addition to Hanzhou, I still need to worry about whether Yuezhou will also have problems.” Shang Jun said in a low voice.
Yuezhou is the fief of the King of Yue. Shang Junlin originally sent someone to temporarily take over Yuezhou. Now that the King of Yue is uprising, I am afraid that Yuezhou will not be peaceful.
” Yuezhou
is prosperous, and it is a fief left to the King of Yue by the previous emperor. The King of Yue cannot easily give up, and the court must make preparations early.”
, the imperial court will also send someone to respond as soon as possible.”
Yuezhou.
Yue Wang was charged with treason, and Yuezhou was in a panic. Yue Wang had been operating in Yuezhou for many years and was deeply involved with local forces. If the Yue Wang incident was true, they would not be able to escape the liquidation afterwards.
“What should we do now?” The major forces in Yuezhou gathered together to discuss important matters.
“His Royal Highness has not come back for so long. It turned out that he was trapped in the capital. Now the capital has forced His Highness to turn against us. We are deeply favored by His Highness. Naturally, we cannot ignore
it at this time.”
In fact, Yuezhou is also prosperous under his governance, without the King of Yue, there is no way we are today, no matter what, we must stand behind the King of Yue!”
The concerns of the ministers in the court are not unreasonable, for themselves, for the sake of Interests, those forces on the land that King Yue confiscates will not easily distance themselves from King Yue.
Fortunately, the court responded in a timely manner, and small-scale riots were suppressed.
Shang Junlin ordered a general in the court to lead troops to conquer the King of Yue.
The weather is getting colder and colder, Shen Yu is standing under the porch wrapped in a thick cloak, and the fluffy fur collar makes his face look smaller.
“The war with the Beimo people is almost over, right?”
Shen Yu stretched out his hand, and a snowflake fell on his hand, which quickly melted away.
Shang Junlin hugged people from behind: “Come on, the colder the weather, the harder it will be for the Beimo people to persist.”
The war with the Beimo people has been stalemate for more than a month, and it is time to end.
“In the blink of an eye, I’ve known His Majesty for almost a year.” Shen Yu retracted his gaze, his eyes drooping slightly to hide the emotion in his eyes.
Shang Junlin: “It’s only a year, and every year from now on, Ayu will spend it with me.”
Shen Yu: “What happened to Hanzhou?”
Because of the Hanzhou incident, the Xu family who should have been dealt with Now still living in the prison, waiting for the final judgment of fate.
Shang Junlin: “The city gates are closed, and the King of Yue has been hiding in the city, unwilling to fight.”
Shen Yu: “With so many people in Hanzhou, how long can the food last? The King of Yue can’t always take people to hide inside and not come out. Shang Junlin:
”
This is something he has to consider. I just want to find out who is hiding behind him as soon as possible.” The
backhand left by the late emperor has always been a thorn in Shang Junlin’s heart.
Hanzhou.
King Yue didn’t expect Shang Junlin’s actions to be so fast, and he was trapped in Hanzhou City when he had a lot of things to prepare for.
It is said that “the troops and horses are not moved, the food and grass go first.”
Fortunately, the Cheng family is willing to pay, and Hanzhou is under their control, so there is no need to worry about food and grass for the time being, but this is not a long-term solution. The main forces are all in the fief, and the situation is unknown.
“His Royal Highness.”
“It’s Mr. Tan,” Shang Junyue stood with his hands behind his back, but now these people are more respectful to him, “How is the situation outside?”
“It’s still the same.” Mr. Tan shook his head.
“This king said at the beginning that he would leave early before the court responds, but Mr. Tan refused to admit it. Are you and I now trapped in Hanzhou, as expected by Mr. Tan?” King Yue couldn’t hold back the thought in his heart. anger.
After there was a trace of Hidden Dragon Guard in Hanzhou, the King of Yue was about to leave with the army, but Mr. Tan stopped him and told him to wait a little longer, and wait until the army sent by the imperial court.
If he hadn’t been rescued by Mr. Tan and others, he would have suspected that Shang Junlin’s people were playing with him.
“Why should you worry, Your Highness? Now that the imperial court is restrained by the people of Beimo, how many people can be freed up here? Our spies went out to explore, and there are up to 50,000 soldiers and horses outside, which is half less than ours. If you want to go out, Just relying on those people, can we stop us?”
“This king advises you not to underestimate Shang Junlin. Was there still a few examples of him winning more with less.”
Among the achievements of Shang Junlin, the most talked about What’s more, it was that he won more with less, and it was he who completely subdued those who attacked Dahuan, which brought Dahuan’s peace for many years.
“Your Highness is at ease. If you want to make things happen, how can you just rely on these people in our hands? Didn’t Your Highness also spread the news to your own people. When everyone arrives, the show will officially start.”
Shang Junyue’s eyes flashed. Shan: “What Mr. Tan said is that this king is in a hurry. This king is just worried that if he is trapped for too long, the people of Hanzhou will be dissatisfied.”
Until now, Shang Junyue has not figured out how many cards these people have in their hands. , they seem to be helping him, but obviously the purpose is not so pure.
Shang Junyue was brought out of prison in a hurry. There are too few people around him. If he wants to succeed, he can only rely on Mr. Tan and the people behind him.
“Just ants, just kill those who are disobedient.” Mr. Tan said indifferently.
